The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A methodical, turn-based strategy game where you outmaneuver your opponent on a grid, feeling like a Viking-era tactical duel.

What players say
Players praise the game's faithful adaptation of historical tafl and its surprisingly deep tactics, but nearly everyone reports that online is dead and there is no AI opponent, leaving pass-and-play as the only viable way to play. Several also complain about the required third-party Playfab account and missing features like a move log.
